DAY 23- 3/23/17- SOLI DEI GLORIA- How do
we Glorify God?
“I am the Lord; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols” (Isa. 42:8).
While our work may glorify God, and our actions of love may glorify God, and things like prayer and witnessing honor Him, there is one thing we do that is more special still- it is to worship God. We take this for granted. One of the reasons God asked us to keep a Sabbath weekly is that it is good for us to honor God with our time and focus.
When we believe in His redeeming work, we glorify Him. When we trust in Him by faith, relying on His grace, believing in His sacrifice on the cross. When we trust in His reality, His real love- we honor Him. As we continue to grow in our faith- He becomes more and more the center of our lives. He becomes our Lord more and more as we follow in His steps. This glorifies God and reflects positively back to Him- even if no one else sees it.
Prayer: Lord, may my heart, my time, my talent, my giving all reflect your glory.
